Encrypting reference numbers

Encryption algorithms are defined to disguise automatically generated reference numbers. You must create an automatically generated reference number before you can create an encryption algorithm, since a component of the encryption algorithm is based on the automatically generated reference number. For more information about generating reference numbers, see Auto Generate Reference: General.

To encrypt a reference number, you must complete the following procedures:

  • Access the Encryption Maintenance screen by clicking the Data Capture tab and then clicking Encryption.

  • Create encryption components using constant values or the seed number

  • Create a key using the encryption components

  • Create an encoded number using the encryption components

  • Create a scrambled number using the encryption components, keys, and the encoded number

  • Create the encrypted reference number using the scrambled number and (or) the original number
